Emergency Secure Area Surveillance

This Equipment package monitors Remote Traveler Subsystem locations such as transit stations, rest areas, tourist centers, park and ride lots, and other locations frequented by travelers. It provides both video and audio surveillance information to emergency personnel. It automatically alerts emergency personnel of potential incidents and supports traveler activated alarms at these locations.

 

Mayday Support

This Equipment package receives Mayday messages, determines an appropriate response, and either uses internal resources or contacts a local agency to provide that response. The nature of the emergency is determined based on the information in the mayday message as well as other inputs. This package effectively serves as an interface between automated mobile mayday systems and the local public safety answering point for messages which require a public safety response.
